Pontus Tidemand achieved an interesting milestone at Rally Mexico that only three drivers before him have ever managed. The Swede became the fourth driver to achieve sixth place overall on a WRC event driving an R5 car. The first driver to achieve this following the R5's introduction in 2014 was Pontus' stepfather, Henning Solberg, in Turkey in 2018, it was equalled by Benito Guerra in Mexico last year and a third time at Portugal 2019 by Kalle Rovanpera. Each time the drivers were competing in Skoda Fabias, Rovanpera's occasion being the debut of the Evo version.
